Dear Colleagues
(apologies for cross postings)
We are pleased to announce that the
Latin American Journal of
Aquatic Mammals (
LAJAM) will publish a
Special
Issue on the Biology and Conservation of the Giant Otter (
Pteronura
brasiliensis) by the end of 2012.
LAJAM is published twice a year by SOLAMAC (Sociedad
Latinoamericana de Especialistas en Mamíferos Acuáticos/Sociedade
Latino-Americana de Especialistas en Mamíferos Aquáticos) and
SOMEMMA (Sociedad Mexicana de Mastozoología Marina/Mexican Society
for Marine Mammalogy).
LAJAM publishes articles concerning research, management and
conservation biology of aquatic mammals in
Latin America. Articles
on theory or techniques broadly applicable to the study of aquatic
mammals are also considered. For this Special Issue we encourage
submissions dealing with the distribution, population status,
biology and ecology of the giant otter, as well as dealing with
human-otter conflicts, population genetics, ex-situ conservation,
sampling methods, etc.
LAJAM publishes five types of contributed manuscripts:
Articles, Notes, Reviews, Comments and Short Communications.
Manuscripts must be written in English. All submitted manuscripts
will be reviewed by at least two anonymous referees for scientific
content.
Guest Editors of the special issue are Jessica Groenendijk (Peru),
Fernando Trujillo (Colombia), Paul Van Damme (Bolivia) and Miriam
Marmontel (Brazil).
We invite you to send a letter of interest, including an abstract,
to the Lead Guest Editor (Miriam Marmontel <
marm...@mamiraua.org.br>)
and Fernando Trujillo (
Fern...@omacha.org)
before the 31 November 2011. Decision will be communicated by
31 December 2011 and selected authors will be required to
submit
final manuscripts by 31 March 2012.
Sincerely,
Miriam Marmontel and Fernando Trujillo
